All of this, thank you for coming back. prigozhin not really close to moscow, and very quickly. then, just turned around and ended his rebellion. it was history added? she or did his rebellion backfire? >> im very dubious there was a great deal of strategy involved here. it all feels very game of thrones to me. and, one thing that you learn watching that serious, if you try to kill the king, and you fail, you are subject to the king. and, i think, you have ghani prigozhin is in for a precarious ...

Weakness on the world stage yesterday, the idea that one of the we just country is in europe, with belarus, with lukashenko. and one of the strongest countries in europe is made of russia and putin, that lukashenko had to make this deal, the belt, it is just preposterous. so russia looks extremely weak right now. the idea that the russian forces can still not get their act together, and really when this war for putin, they look weak on the world stage right now. and so ukraine has an opportunity...

Russian military as the kremlin has offered, that they, do what happens to wagner forces worldwide? is you have goni prigozhin still their leader, are they still loyal to? him does not loyal to? shift it is a lot of those questions still up in the, air and another big question i think for people in ukraine, is what really is russias next move? jonathan? >> kelly, thank you so much coming to you live from kyiv. joining me now is michael mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to the russian federation, an...

>> well, i think clearly putin is weakened. his government is weakened. the irony is that his junior partner in belarus, lukashenko had to bail him out of this. prigozhin kept his life and lost his wagner group and he should be careful around open windows in his new location where hes going. clearly prigozhin lost his nerve. he was within roughly two hours drive of the outskirts of moscow where they were starting to prepare a defensive positions. this rebellion, although it had some applause alo...

Well trained force to maintain order and to train their own men. ok. you are obviously _ and to train their own men. ok. you are obviously a _ and to train their own men. ok. you are obviously a specialist _ and to train their own men. ok. you are obviously a specialist in - are obviously a specialist in russia, ukraine and belarus, you will understand how mr putin governs, we have heard a lot about his top—down approach. is it or isnt it working? it his top-down approach. is it or isnt it wor...

Prigozhin is no better option than putin. i think lukashenko and putin got together and and said, hey, weve got a mini bear with lin wall -- berlin wall moment happening, we need to sort this out, and they snuffed it out pretty quickly. we have to ask ourselves the question while many are cheering on putins dilemma, weve got to remember there are 3,000 nukes in russia, and a destabilized russia is a problematic place to be. rachel: yeah. and russia has moved some of their nukes to belarus where ...

Where his focus has been. our focus is resolutely and resolutely on ukraine. >> we saw a demonstrable crack and uproot and strength. the only real answer here is that putin is going to stop this war, and pull out of ukraine. if he wants to save his country, save his leadership -- >> >> the armed rebellion initiated by the leader of the wagner mercenary forest, which has been fighting on russias behalf in ukraine, and it in the middle of a reported moth just to moscow with no bloodshed. it ended ...

Dont know either. lukashenko has a 20-year history of knowing prigozhin and its part based on that knowledge of each other that he stepped in here, and the best analysis has to be lukashenko who is a weaker partner to putin. putin stepped in and helped him out in those elections in 2020 that were widely regarded as fraudulent and he asked putin for help and putin stepped in. lukashenko and belarus have become a base for putins war in ukraine to the south. he is very much the junior partner and h...

The kremlin, putin accused them of treason. theyve done a deal that allows prigozhin to get out of the country and the guys to get back to their camps. it would be wise to sign up for the military. >> they may have no choice as he said. and its unclear where yevgeny prigozhin is right now. should we find that to be a baffling development? we were talking about this last night. he hasnt been seen in public since late yesterday after the deal was brokered. and the press service says that he will a...

That it is being reported? and with president putin does he feel now as if he is going to have to exert his authority again here in russia and possibly even make moves to ramp up what he calls his special military operation in ukraine, to kind of strengthen his position after everything thats happened in the past few days. the russian media here in moscows reporting suggesting spinning if you like that in fact this is a sign that russia is grown up, if you like. that it is solid, that liberty ha...
